Abstract

A találmány berendezés nagy ionáram impulzusok előállításárainerciális elektrosztatikus behatároló eszközben. A berendezéshez van:egy vezető vákuumkamra (12), amelyet egy fal határoz meg, és amelyetelektromosan úgy töltenek fel, hogy anódként szolgáljon, és fúzióraalkalmas gázt tartalmaz; több elektrongenerátor (18), amelyek avákuumkamra (12) falának belső felületéhez közel vannak elhelyezve, ésamelyek célja elektronok emittálása a vákuumkamrába (12); egy elsőkatódrács (13), amely egy nagy transzparenciájú, lényegében gömb alakúszerkezetből áll, amely a vákuumkamra (12) belsejében központosan vanelhelyezve, és amely egy központi teret határoz meg; egy elsőpotenciálforrás, amely elektromos potenciált szolgáltat az elsőkatódrácsra (13) úgy, hogy az központi katódként szolgál, ahol is akatód és az anód közötti potenciál az ionokat a katód felé gyorsítja,a megnövelt energiájú ionok egymással és semleges gázatomokkalkölcsönhatásba lépnek, miközben összetartanak (konvergálnak) egy nagyionsűrűség létrehozására a központi térben; egy második (középső) rács(14), amely magában foglal egy nagy transzparenciájú, pozitív töltésűszerkezetet, amely a vákuumkamra (12) falának közelében vanelhelyezve, hogy az emittált elektronokat alapvetően egy kerületiionizációs térbe vezesse, amely teret a második rács és a vákuumkamra(12) fala határoz meg; egy második potenciálforrás, elektromospotenciálnak a második rácsra (14) alkalmazása céljából olymódon, hogyaz elektrontrajektóriák a kerületi ionizációs téren belül lesznek; egykapuelektroncső-rács berendezés, amely magában foglal egy harmadik(külső) rácsot (15), amely egy nagy transzparenciával rendelkező, gömbalakú szerkezet, mely a második rácson (14) belül, de az első rácson(13) kívül helyezkedik el, valamint egy harmadik potenciálforrás,abból a célból, hogy egy időben változó feszültséget adjon a másodikrácsra (14) úgy, hogy az ismételten ioncsoportokat szabadítson fel,amelyek az anód és egy központi katódként működő második rács (14)hatására felgyorsulnak. A találmány tárgya a berendezés működtetéséreszolgáló, nagy ionáram impulzusok előállítására szolgáló eljárás is. ÓThe invention is an apparatus for generating high ion current pulses in an inertial electrostatic confinement device. The apparatus includes: a conductive vacuum chamber (12) defined by a wall, electrically charged to act as an anode, and containing a fusion gas; several electron generators (18) which are placed close to the inner surface of the wall of the vacuum chamber (12) and whose purpose is to emit electrons into the vacuum chamber (12); a first cathode ray (13) consisting of a substantially spherical structure of high transparency centrally located inside the vacuum chamber (12) and defining a central space; a first potential source that provides an electric potential to the first cathode wire (13) by serving as the central cathode, where the potential between the cathode and the anode accelerates the ions towards the cathode, the ions with increased energy interact with each other and with neutral gas atoms while they stick together (converge) to create a high ion density in the central space; a second (central) grid (14) comprising a highly transparent, positively charged structure positioned near the wall of the vacuum chamber (12) to guide the emitted electrons essentially into a peripheral ionization space formed by the second grid and the vacuum chamber (12 ) is determined by its wall; a second potential source for applying an electric potential to the second grid (14) such that the electron trajectories are within the peripheral ionization field; single-gate electron tube grating device including a third (external) grating (15), which is a highly transparent spherical structure located inside the second grating (14) but outside the first grating (13), and a third potential source, in order to apply a time-varying voltage to the second grid (14) so that it repeatedly releases ion groups, which are accelerated by the action of the anode and a second grid (14) acting as a central cathode. The subject of the invention is also a method for producing high ion current pulses for operating the equipment. HE
